Frequently asked questions
Are energy grants available in Wales?
Yes. The Nest scheme provides free energy efficiency improvements for eligible households in Wales, alongside ECO4 and local authority schemes.
Are energy grants available in Scotland?
Yes. Home Energy Scotland offers grants and interest-free loans, while Warmer Homes Scotland focuses on lower-income households.
How do I find my council scheme?
Start with your council’s website and search for "energy grants" or "Warm Homes". You can also use GOV.UK’s find-your-local-council tool. Energy Checker is gradually adding council-by-council guidance.
Do councils offer solar grants?
Some councils run group-buy or grant-funded solar schemes for residents on lower incomes or in off-gas-grid areas. Availability varies and changes through the year, so it is worth checking your council and our local pages.
Do local grants change over time?
Yes. Local energy schemes are usually time-limited and depend on funding rounds, so a route that is open this year may not be available next year. We mark each council page with a last-reviewed date.
